This has not been a busy year on my blog, having sometimes gone a month or more without posting anything new. Currently teaching three college classes online from home, and not finding much time to write and post images for the blog. One more week in the semester and Spring has sprung, so that should change. I have a backlog of several dozen photos taken in the last few weeks, so I will soon be posting them along with stories of the experiences I'm having along the way. My overall theme is generally concentrated on flowering plants and their symbiotic relationships with their pollinators. When the mood strikes, I insert philosophical and political comments. Please feel free to share your comments, but please be nice. I try to be.
I have been teaching since 1965 and have recently joined the English Department as an Associate Faculty member at Feather River College. Recently taught Nature Literature in America and am currently teaching Interpersonal Communication and Basic Reading and Writing.
I'm leading an early morning wildflower walk today along Spanish Creek near the Oakland Feather River Camp and here are some photos I've taken this past week as I scouted the area. There are at least 75 species of wildflowers blooming at this time and dozens of species of birds constantly singing. By early afternoon, the same area looks a bit different as some fo the early-morning bloomers have closed up for the day while others have just opened. Click on any image here for a larger view and a caption identifying the flower.
Wonderful shots of the flowers. I'm going to be getting up early this summer as well but for swimming in the pool to start my days.
